The first pizza chain in the United States was Pizza Hut. Founded in 1958, Pizza Hut was originally a single restaurant in Wichita, Kansas. The restaurant was started by two brothers, Dan and Frank Carney, who had the idea to open a pizzeria after seeing a successful pizza business in Hong Kong. The restaurant quickly became popular, and the brothers soon began franchising their concept. By the 1970s, Pizza Hut was the largest pizza chain in the United States, with over 1,000 locations nationwide. Today, Pizza Hut is a global brand, with restaurants in countries all over the world. While it is no longer the largest pizza chain in the United States, it remains one of the most well-known and beloved brands in the industry.
